Rosō Fukuhara

Rosō Fukuhara

was a Japanese photographer noted for a strikingly modern approach to pictorialism.

He was born in Ginza on 16 January 1892, as nihongo|Nobutatsu Fukuhara|福原信辰|Fukuhara Nobutatsu, son of nihongo|Arinobu Fukuhara|福原 有信|Fukuhara Arinobu, the head of Apothecary Shiseidō (which in 1927 would be incorporated as Shiseidō) and nihongo|Toku Fukuhara|福原 とく|Fukuhara Toku. His three eldest brothers [By conventional count, his "two" eldest brothers: One died so young that he was not counted when Shinzō was given a name indicating that he was the third.] died young, but another older brother, Shinzō, would also win great fame as a photographer and the last, Nobuyoshi (信義, b.1897) would win some fame too, under the name nihongo|Tōru Namiki|並木 透|Namiki Tōru.

Fukuhara studied French at Keio University (Tokyo) from 1911 to 1917. His photographic activities were amateur but rigorous; his photographs employing both shallow focus and rather incongruous juxtapositions to great effect. (Half of a photograph by Fukuhara might be taken up by corrugated metal fencing.)

Fukuhara died on 29 September 1946 in Nagano.
